Regardless of the tensions between North and South Korea, and of course in deferrence to any persons affected by the problems caused by the United State's involvment in splitting that country in two in the first place, why are the South Korean companies taking advantage of the Norths dictatorial leader Kim Yong Il's abuse of its citizens, by exploiting them further and taking advantage of the low wages they can pay the workers there to make watches, clothing and various utensils and trinkets? Shouldn't the South be giving those jobs to their own people and paying them properly?

As stated in an article on Yahoo! News, a project in the Kaesong industrial park was allegedly born under a policy of engagement by a previous South Korean government that saw it as a way to ease tensions with North Korea and allow firms from the south to utilize (exploit) cheap labor there.

What kind of people send their jobs to other countries merely to take advantage of peoples oppressed by governments who get away with such abuses which would never be allowed in their own country? Oh, that's right...this country.

It appears South Korea has learned how to be American in some of the more undesirable ways. Maybe they more than deserve the latest tensions that have threatened production and profits.
